do not lease from LBJ

From: -Anonymous-
Date posted: 12/5/2003
Years at this apartment: 2002 - 2003
 
The apartment is fine for me, not bad for college housing. Most maintenance requests are responded to in a decent amount of time. The bus comes twice an hour, and even so, its a 15-20 minute walk from campus. Parking for residents is ok during the week, but you cant get a stop at night Thursday-Saturday, so dont leave your apartment. For visitors, dont expect to park here unless you want to coem during the day. After six, dont even try. The management (LBJ), however, thinks college students are unbelievably stupid and will screw you over every chance they get. If you tell them maintanence or anyone else is not allowed in your apartment, they dont care, they will send them in anyways. We had one roommate move out and another move in, so they charged us a ridicuous amount to clean our already very clean apartment. They came in without telling us when and just charged us (without telling us how much for what) for "cleaning", although they didnt clean half the stuff they charged us for. They will charge you for ANYTHING because they think college students are stupid. This is not the first time this happened. And when you want to talk to management about it, they won't see you. You have to write a letter, which they respond to by basically saying, I'm sorry, you must do what we say. Even when what they say is not supported in the lease. The first year here they weren't so bad, but they are absolutely ridiculous now. And on top of that, our apartment was not very clean when we moved in, and they promised us a new carpet since ours id disgusting. Never happened. Our kitchen flooring is gross, but they wont fix it. So if you want a decent place to live that's pretty close to campus, but dont mind being taken advantage of, this is the place to be.
